The Country Fire Service is still trying to contain a number of fires across South Australia, some of which have been burning for several days.

The Tulka fire about 12 kilometres south of Port Lincoln is causing the most concern while it continues to burn in thick bushland within control lines.

This fire which has swept through about 1,853 hectares of scrub has also destroyed a campervan, 12 cabins, several sheds and four cars.

About 100 CFS firefighters assisted by three fixed-winged aircraft are working to contain the fire which is burning behind control lines but may pose a threat to the Tulka township if wind conditions change.

Smoke has also been blowing towards Port Lincoln from this fire.

A team of investigators from CFS, MFS and SAPOL are investigating the cause of the Tulka fire.

In other fires, not causing any threat to property or lives which the CFS is attending:
